Alex Jones’ defamation damages trial brought by the parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims will move forward, after the judge on Thursday denied a request for a mistrial from the InfoWars host’s attorney following the revelation that the lawyer had mistakenly sent years of cellphone records to the plaintiffs’ counsel.

I feel sorry for the woman, having him in her life and meddling with their kids.

The far right was afraid Sandy Hook might actually spur the American people to demand more restrictions on gun ownership. Claiming this was a hoax and the families were crisis actors gave gun nuts some cover to fight restrictions. Sadly, even Sandy Hook didn’t make the American people demand change.
The real answer is that he owned a website that hustled goods like t-shirts and copper armbands to help arm pain. He had a ton of followers that increased during mass shootings and therefore, his sales of other crap also went up. His wife was interviewed for a book I read recently about Sandy Hook and she basically said that she begged him not say it was a hoax and initially, he didn't. He then saw his viewership increase and was suddenly on the band wagon. Sales increased and then it downhill from there.
NP and I know this is a completely emotional response to your explanation but his wife is disgusting and vile as well for marrying this vile human, staying with him and profiting from the pain of others. She can rot for all I care as well.

That makes more sense to me than the two of them being in bed with each other. Stone strikes me as far too vain to be into someone as old and fat as Jones.

In addition to this very public Second Red Scare, Cohn and McCarthy also led the less-public Lavender Scare against federal employees suspected of being gay.
We don’t know how many employees the Lavender Scare forced out between the late ‘40s and early ‘60s, but the number is likely in the thousands. Like communists, McCarthy considered gay people security risks because of their supposed mental instability. Cohn’s motivations are more difficult to parse, but may have had to do with both internalized homophobia and a desire to squash rumors that he was gay.
“In lavender Washington, Cohn was known as both a closeted homosexual and homophobic, among those leading the charge against supposedly gay witnesses who he and others believed should lose their government jobs because they were ‘security risks,’” writes journalist Marie Brenner in Vanity Fair.
It’s a straight line from Joe McCarthy to Roy Cohn to Roger Stone — who a jury found guilty Friday morning of seven counts including lying to Congress and threatening witnesses to shut up or change their testimony about his role in allowing foreign interference in our presidential election — to Donald Trump, who did his best Friday to live-intimidate a witness, tweeting about how “everywhere Marie Yovanovitch went turned bad” in the midst of the ousted U.S. ambassador to Ukraine’s testimony before the House impeachment inquiry.
